    9lb 1oz Neil. One of the lighter late 70's jazzes.

    Hmm, Streamliner and Barefaced SuperTwin was sonic heaven for me. Sometimes my stupidity astounds even me.

    [quote name='gary mac' timestamp='1471201158' post='3111245'] I've removed a couple of posts due to them being inappropriate, unfortunately it has left the thread looking a little messy. Karl maybe it would be best to remove or edit your replies now. [/quote] Done, many thanks for your help Gary, apologies for me getting a bit antsy . Cab withdrawn.

    [quote name='andytoad' timestamp='1471199497' post='3111218'] It was mine, it really is not that heavy Dunc! Great cab. [/quote] No it isn't, but I have to lift all my gear over a car at 2am or later, after gigs. I thought it would be a bit bigger than a SuperTwin but it's rather a lot bigger than a SuperTwin. My fault. I was secretly gutted when Steve got it out of the back of his car.

    Hello Jamie. Are these MK1 or MK11 ? Do they stack vertically (I know they have unusual plastci corner pieces)? Are you likely to look at courier eventually? Good luck, Karl.

    Out of curiosity Ed, what is the wattage rating of this wonderful cab?

    I just got this off Steve. Astonishing sound, but too big for an old git like me. I under estimated the dimensions. I am asking more than I paid. Steve was really helpful with a meet and I put 6 hours driving and a lot of fuel into collecting. I am prepared to do the same again. Hence the price. If somebody collects from Wigan, more than happy to chat about the price. If you don't like the price, then you won't want to buy it will you TRADES. GEN3 SuperTwin with cloth front. The BIG fella of GEN 2. Don't come up too often, this model. Just insanely powerful. Very good condition although the handles are showing rough, 3 new ones from Alex are £16. Bass in picture not included, just to provide scale. This fella, at this spec, delivered new, would have set you back £1170. Plus the cost of the Roqsolid cover. Will meet up, no extra charge, within 100 miles of Wigan. Spec [url="http://barefacedbass.com/product-range/big-one.htm"]http://barefacedbass...nge/big-one.htm[/url] Feedback available, any trial in Wigan, cheers, Karl.

    Bert has just bought a bass from me. Decisive, helpful and a thoroughly nice guy to boot. Thanks for making it so easy Bert, an absolute pleasure. Fully recommended folks, thanks again, cheers, Karl.

    Just done a deal with Steve. Absolute gent, decisive, did what he said he'd do, when he said he'd do it. Gear bang on as described. Really nice friendly bloke to deal with, fully recommended by the House of Munster. Enjoy tonight's gig Steve and thanks for making it so easy.

I can hardly see the neck, never mind the squiggles

    Hi guys hope you can help with confirmation. It's a late 70's Jazz, so confirmation is a VERY hopeful word The pots are 1377514, so week 14, 1975 Can't quite figure the bottom of pups, it's 75 or 76, bit smudgy. The other pup has grey bottom but printing's worn off. I thought it was 76/77, but it's got Made in USA on the front of the headstock, which to me suggests 80's. That's the bit that really nags me. It's also got S7 serial which I thought was from 78 onwards, but some suggest from late 76. I don't expect anybody to tell me it was born on the 2nd of February X year, but some knowledge would be really helpful. Cheers in advance folks, Karl.

    [quote name='Funky Dunky' timestamp='1470764519' post='3108289'] Oh God no, I didn't mean it like that! I said "nosey parker" as a punctuation, most definitely not an insult. I'm 39 and kinda poor. I'm not proud of it. I have no wish to be cheeky to anyone on the forum! [/quote] And he won't have taken it as an insult. He will have chuckled

    [quote name='Thor' timestamp='1470745207' post='3108071'] Sweet looking bass Karl - I'm sure it won't hang around too long at that price. So how many basses have you been through this year? [/quote] One shall plead the 5th Pete [quote name='Damonjames' timestamp='1470746627' post='3108091'] Basses?? I think it's only the FSR that survive from ANY of his gear to see the year out!!! I bet there is a pool of seafoam green at the base of his guitar stand as it quietly sweats waiting to be shifted on too lol.

    Thank you gents. I see you kindly took me at my word. IE barracking . Whilst Hofner would be very appropriate for one of next years gigs, I refuse point blank to ever play one of those again .

    [quote name='bassgurumonster' timestamp='1470690848' post='3107760'] [/quote] Shut up Mike [quote name='Dad3353' timestamp='1470691676' post='3107771'] Surely this merits more explanation..? What '50s amp are you using for this new venture..? And what 'period' strings..? I'm glad I'm a drummer; would't want to have to play on a '50s kit..! Are your band mates equally as zealous as you, or are they a sensible lot..? This forum would be the poorer without these topics, though..! [/quote] 50's STYLE dad, I know you're a drummer but try to pay attention [quote name='Damonjames' timestamp='1470692058' post='3107773'] This breaks my heart Karl... I was hoping you would hang on to this long enough to to shift my bass and get some pennies together. After reading some of the horror stories on these basses, I instantly loved this one when I played it. The pickups are very full, and the neck pickup could almost pass for a p. Neck is very comfy and I have tiny hands, so don't stress about the slightly deeper neck profile. It is reliced quite heavily as you would expect, but it is very light, noticeable after playing his old Adam Clayton. Someone is getting a steal!!!! [/quote] Thanks Damon, but the bigger shows aren't until next year and I'm very unlikely to get the trade I'm looking for. So, I'll save up and you can save up . Hope 1st contact was good [quote name='Schnozzalee' timestamp='1470692385' post='3107777'] Switch to the neck pickup and say it's a '59. [/quote] Sadly they know jazzes weren't around in the 50's. It needs to be a P. They would like it to be blue, but that ain't happening

    David Konig (Retrovibe) will do a great set up on the basses he supplies. He has a lot of fans. Have a chat with him and tell him Karl recommended his gear, but more importantly, his care and service.
